If you want to include graphical objects in WinCC OA you can use objects based on C++ and QT. For details please have a look at the WinCC OA documentation: Graphics Editor --> Complex graphic objects --> EWO (External Widget Object).
Also it is possible to use ActiveX elements if there are available as 64bit version as WinCC OA is a 64bit application.

Is there a way to import dll files ? And use them . As well we can see that the floating database files are encrypted ,we want to access them in a way as example to be able to filter the tree according to user authorization level or according to his area of interest automatically .

It's so kind of you to answer always , You're such a great support team.

The database files cannot be read with external programs. If you want to read information stored in these files you have to use the WinCC OA functions to read/write information stored at dp elements or in the dp identification.
Which "tree" are you talking about?
